Founded in 1983 in France, CIAD originally specialized in importing shirts.
At this time CIAD belonged to a mail order company called LA BLANCHE PORTE.
A few years later, CIAD became a privately owned company, providing promotional
gifts for mail order companies in northern France.
When CASAQUE acquired CIAD in 2003, the two founding partners, Frederic DELLOYE
and Jerôme DESCAMPS, decided to professionalize its workflow and expand activities,
with the goal of making CIAD become a major player in the free gifts market
in France and Europe.
Since then, CIAD has grown rapidly, with its turnover doubling in the last 3 years.
CASAQUE group is currently present in 4 countries throughout the world,
with 6 offices employing 115 people. The turnover currently exceeds € 50 Million
(figures from December 2006).
